Seriously. I'm not just saying that to be nice or because you posted about your body image. You look amazing and don't ever question it. I guess the thing we girls ALL need to learn is how to stop comparing and learn to just be content with what is healthy for us. I know it will be a long, bumpy road for me :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375357270568590344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869485690556227725.post-88456809584585085412012-08-13T18:12:55.200-07:002012-08-13T18:12:55.200-07:00Your bump is adorable!!

And you're right it absolutely is worth it!<br /><br />I totally understand what you mean...sometimes I feel like I don't look pregnant-just like I had wayyyy too big of a dinner. If a stranger would just ask me when I was due I'd feel so much better some days.

Don't stress about it :) As long as you and baby are healthy, it doesn't matter what anyone else says, and even if you don't feel the greatest, you truly are beautiful :)Kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14336073370895244680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869485690556227725.post-8777061188923140982012-08-13T13:40:55.545-07:002012-08-13T13:40:55.545-07:00Amen!!

Once I remember I don't have a problem with it... but why do I forget? Why do I automatically think I'm just fat? It's been a weird thing for me to overcome because I've never thought these thoughts about myself before. Satan has a way with playing with our minds, and making us feel bad about ourselves any chance he gets.<br />By the way, I'm super jealous! I wish my boobs would STOP growing. (Yours will totally grow by the way. They will.) I liked where I was before getting pregnant and now? Eric jokes about my "torpedoes"... haha. TMI, I know, but I'm hoping it makes you feel better. Because by the time the milk comes in... my boobs will probably pop. They will be so huge. So gross. SO gross!Courtney Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00932251648323616331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869485690556227725.post-61365738415291851532012-08-13T11:31:57.465-07:002012-08-13T11:31:57.465-07:00I know what you mean.

It is frustrating putting clothes on that fit last week and don't anymore... and looking at other girls who are pregnant too and seeing that they can still wear skirts below the bump, and don't have to pull them all the way up to their boobs. I got worried when my weight gain reached 35 pounds, and read that a lot of girls don't even gain that much total-- but I agree, it's worth it, babies are miracles!Mikelle Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565533244345091103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869485690556227725.post-22800424895363092562012-08-13T11:29:06.710-07:002012-08-13T11:29:06.710-07:00Girl, you are a tiny pregnant lady.

I'm five foot four with no waist and my stomach was larger than yours (with both babies!) by week seven or eight. I mean, I eat pretty healthy while pregnant (and while not pregnant!), and I still gained sixty pounds with my first. Some people just gain a lot of weight and others fit back into their old clothes by the time they leave the hospital. It's the same with nursing- some drop weight after one feeding and other people cling to every pound until they're done nursing and then it falls off. Some people have to work at every ounce.<br /><br />So what I'm saying is: It's really hard to not feel like a tub of lard when you're pregnant, but your body's going to do what it wants to do when you're pregnant and it doesn't care that your friends might be larger or smaller than you. I get so belly-large by 30 weeks that I can barely move. That's just how my body works and it's lame but also totally worth it. So! In my opinion, if you want a shake, drink the shake... just make sure to go on a walk, too. :)Lissa Chandlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04006576453924952648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869485690556227725.post-87204536924950703192012-08-13T09:55:29.352-07:002012-08-13T09:55:29.352-07:00I've never been pregnant, but I love seeing ot...I've never been pregnant, but I love seeing other bloggers with their bump updates!
